ah ah ah, with 17 people are killed including 11 children in a school shooting in central russia, at least 24 of those. a wounded referendums on joining russia draw to a close on the final day of voting for people in the don bus republics and 2 other regions on the seating from ukraine. r t convers opinions from some international observers on how the referendums unfolded. what we saw there was,

according to the normal standards of elections. i saw that exactly the same, like in russia in france. and president putin. grunz russian citizenship the u. s. whistleblower edward snowden. authorities still want him to faith, a criminal charge trial on espionage charges with well can see it from the russian capital early this tuesday morning. i am peter scott and welcome to the program where be joining us from now to our top story this, our officials say that 70 people were killed including 11 children, and over 20 others were wounded in a devastating school shooting in the central russian city of egypt and you can see people bringing flowers and toys to the school entrance morning. those killed in the tragedy are wanting the falling video, which shows people trucks in the building during the attack is distressing.

oh, i see with them, but we went out to a magazine cases everywhere. some of shoes slid on the stairs who were very stressed. i've been shaking for a very long time, which couldn't excel and my daughter very to me on friday. whatever she vouch, keep my mom. i love you very much. i thought she was joking, but as a 10 dad she was in.

ah. but she has graded with 7 year old kids, armando debt, that actually she was very scary. everyone was screaming and panicking. we were in the classroom with the door locked, someone came and knocked on it with something metallic gun, most likely. ah, mm hm. now let's look at the latest on the referendum in the dumbass republics of done . yet elegance goes well as to other regions up at ocean. got a song is the final day of voting as locals decide on whether they want to become part of russia.

ah. the 4th day of voting saw all 4 regions passing the crucial 50 percent milestone. the highest turn out to the polls has been in the done yet republic, where around 1500000 people cast their vote. in little guns for public participation, remain steady with over a 1000000 people voting. while in the us on unsupported regions. turnouts is roughly on the same level reaching 63 and 66 percent. accordingly,

the referendum has been widely dismissed as illegal by many countries. are roman crossover heard from international observers monitoring the voting process in the don't bust. group of international observers traveling around the people's republic and to make sure there are no violations. now this is the 4th day of the referendum, and people are still voting at home. there are mobile referendum committees walking around the apartment buildings, private houses, and asking people whether they want to cast or vote for the people's republic to join russia or not. so my 1st time in don bus, i was the 1st time it was in november 2015. so we participated the last 2 years in your organization and we try as well on my, on my, you tube channels like both to release some, some news,

some real news about what happens here. it's important that everything should be done legally procedure to be respected and i hope to hear because i, i so that is exactly the same, like in, in rush hour in france that we just across the border and directly off to this 1st point of voting. odyssey or russian city of stuff are quite a lot of refugees from this territories here with us. so we already had a chance to visit a point of holding their stuff. and what we saw there was, according to the normal standards of electrons. following short introductions and orientation at the referendum center here in the town off as international observers moved on to actual voting. now they've come here to this apartment

building and you can see a lot of locals are here. they will be casting their vote in this referendum. of course all these people are free to speak for dinner ash, international observers, if they want to. and of course, these foreigners who arrive to make sure there are no other nations will be here documenting everything. and hopefully deliver the truth back to their respective nations. oh yes leon, we have hope that's the most important thing. help them. we won't be laughed and the situation improves. there's much hard work had that we still have hope, which is which of sir me, we want peace. we want happiness for our children. we want to jin russia and everything to get better. new still not was i'm also, i believe will will be protected, that russia will help us because we've been shell for 8 years. what if our town is

shell like the netscape? here is my child. where will we go? we have nowhere to go for you for you. here in torres, this town hasn't seen active war activities since 20142015. and nevertheless, we can still hear her sounds of artillery from a very far away. of course, the main hope. oh, all these people is that as soon as the results of the referendum are in all this tragedy, all this horror of war, we'll find the list stop from on call for emergency done as people's republic or the voting soon to wrap up, of course will keep you updated on the results on the future holds for these regions. ah,

u. s. congress has reached a preliminary agreement to send ukraine $12000000000.00 an additional aid, along with a potential supply of a rust of new american missiles. it comes as german chancellor, olaf sholtes is refusing send more times to give, as he seeks to avoid an escalation of the conflict. we're supporting ukraine. we are doing it in a way that is not escalating to where it is becoming a war between russia and nato. because this would be a catastrophe on the ukranian president followed him, his zalinski wasn't pleased with the german chancellor statements. and once again blamed countries for insufficient om supplies. bah, bull, if you don't want to give us tanks and armored vehicles listen, no offense shut up. but don't say 1st america than germany, then poland. yet i don't, every one should be responsible for themselves on them for you. i don't know what happened to israel. i'm honestly, frankly, i am in shock because i don't understand why they couldn't give us air defenses. i am stating the facts. my conversations with the israeli leadership have done

nothing to help ukraine out of me today. the russian army used to rainy and drones for it strikes the world will know about every instance of collaboration with evil and it will have corresponding consequences color. but as of september, the 1st ukraine has received $17400000000.00 in grants and loans from foreign partners since the beginning of the conflicts, including some $4700000000.00 in august. most of the aid comes from the united states, which has already sent more than $50000000.00 along with military equipments, with more than $14000000000.00 for live now to surf land as co director of the international auction center. sarah, thank you very much for joining us. here on our tea again, i'm so what do you make of these upon different approaches by the united states who's pumping a lot of weapons on miniature, 8 into crane, and germany's olaf sholtes who isn't as refused to 7 times. but still,

germany has reversed the longstanding policy of not sending dominance to ukraine, which is a big step in itself. well, the us is certainly willing to pump more and more and more arms into the ukraine. this is very profitable to the u. s. arms industry. whether it will make any difference. that's another fact entirely. ukraine can't account for the weapons that are already the amount of weapons that literally disappear. once they're over the border. it's an international scandal, the level of corruption and ukraine's what they're using and what instead they're reselling. so there's accountability, there's corruption. there's not knowing what the weapons are and yet an endless supply is still profitable to provide. now, so on speaker continues to demand more and more and make more and more promises.

but so far it has not reversed their situation. and this is something that the other nato countries really realize that it is costing them their economy, their energy supplies an enormous amount. and it has failed to do what the us promised that it would do that it would create a catastrophe and russia that has not happened. and the u. s. is very willing to fight the last ukranian and to keep pumping arms, as i say, all of that is profitable. will it change the situation? i don't think so. on the other hand, we see within a month, you know, among the russian population of ukraine, a, we organization a referendum and it's moving forward in terms of the defense, but from the ukrainians there lack in many times to training. as i say weapons go missing and then they demand more and more weapons still. so i think we should

really look at that. what is this regime that we are endless? not we us arms manufacturers, us politicians willing to provide without any accountability. do you think it sustainable this level of support for ukraine's or no, i don't think it is. ah, i think it's profitable for us farms manufacturers very profitable. but i don't think it's sustainable or that it will in the long run, aid, anyone and ukraine, people end up poor and poor. so knows all of europe with the very sanctions that they imposed. and that have boomerang back on them and are creating global shortages and hardships for people around the world. so on every level, whether it's weapons or the weapon of sanctions, there is a grievous toll being paid by millions of people on

a lot of money made to with these contrasting statements and approaches from the u . s. and germany, obviously with us continuing to support ukraine militarily and germany been a little bit more hesitant. can we see this as a sign that there may be cracks, appearing in unity towards the conflict and ukraine among the western countries? well, there certainly are cracks and just to say, you know, this is a time of a global capitalist crisis. it's really unfolding. and who takes the hit. you know, there's real competition between the u. s. and the u. and damaging the economy in europe can be in the u. s. interest. so we should keep in mind that they're making demands in us is making demands on all the countries of europe. and yes, it's a very heavy price that european countries are,

will pay for this and are already paying by cutting off the very energy and, and gas and oil that they need. they're the ones paying the price. and they will see that more and more come winter. yeah. and so that's, that's creating real cracked reality, their situation versus see us. and we have seen some, some rest, certainly in europe over this politically speaking. and i have in mind that the mid terms around the corner was it in this abide and this, this pumping a military support from ukraine, obviously, domestically there are, you know, quite a few issues as well in america as well as europe. well, it's a big diversion. it, it gives us biden an opportunity to really play at a new war with big promises. i think all of that is extremely dangerous, and yet always very effective during an election to have a diversion to have

a war that that's for sure. and it takes the attention off of all of the promises that they absolutely failed to come through with and, and that's what we have to look at, what is happening to the economy in the us. what's happening? life expectancy in the us is falling every single year. that's a disaster in its own ranks, right? their health care infrastructure is absolutely deteriorating here. and that's part of the price that we pay for endless amounts of money for weapons for war. well, sarah, font code. all right, so of the international action center. thank you very much for your time today on those 8 supplies to ukraine. thank you for your time. thank you. a french news channel l. c. i has caused a stir after broadcasting

a show advising people. what to do if russia uses nuclear weapons, meaning you of the same any new or small nuclear bombs designed to neutralize zones of up to 2 square kilometers. jeff, sort of the app on the show used images from the popular computer game fall out to depict russian nuclear missiles, causing an online frenzy fanny using fall out illustrations to talk about tactical nukes l. c. i is not true. tell me it's not true and incompetence like yours. use of many new from fall out. of course live out to scott ritter, former us marine corps intelligence officer. scott, thanks for your time today. ma'am. now do you think it's acceptable for a news channel to use computer game images? it illustrates real life scenarios on the one hand, it could be considered to be quite amusing. do you think there are a series of undertones to this? was extremely serious undertone. first of all,

france is one of the permanent nuclear powers or the at that, you know, earlier this year said that nuclear war can't be one. therefore, it should never be fought. so one would think that that principle would, you know, service the foundation of, you know, any, any french effort to discuss nuclear weapons and the potential for, for their employment on the battle for by using the computer game. to illustrate this, all they did is it is trivialized. the issue would turn it into something that you know, becomes believable as opposed to something that could be unthinkable. what, what just how serious is this? sabre rattling this nuclear saber rattling that's coming from both sides here. it's very reminiscent of the cold war in the cuban missile crisis. well, the, the thing about the cuban missile crisis is that it was really more of a,

a set up a waltz between the united states. so the union in which the soviet union was seeking to get the united states to remove jupiter missiles from turkey in italy by placing their own missiles in cuba. so i don't think there was ever an existential . ready crisis, it's been blown out of proportion, i believe, by history. you know, the united states knew what the soviet union was after the soviet union knew what it was after. and in the end, they both got what they wanted. the jupiter's out the soviet missiles out here, you know, russia brought up nuclear weapons in the context of what the russian president is called of. you know, the, the, the, the struggle against the, you know, the collective west. russia is getting ready to probably be in the near future, absorb for o blister territories from ukraine into mother, russia,

and the russians put nato and ukraine on. notice that any effort to expel russian forces from russian soil becomes an existential issue. when we're russia's prepared to use all the means at its disposal. you know, basically implicitly saying that nuclear weapons are on the table to protect a russia. but there's literally 0 chance that russia on its own volition would use nuclear weapons against your crane or nato. so this is, you know, that the french going down this route, and indeed everybody from the united states armed down over reacting to what the russian president said is, is actually creating a environment of nuclear terror where they're terrorizing themselves. and when you have nations responding this way, it actually creases the possibility for nuclear conflict, as opposed to decrease. people need the bomb rational. i know that's difficult when

we speak about the ongoing conflict, ukraine, but nuclear weapons are, are not on the table unless nato wants to make them on to tape. well, this french reports about that russian nuclear weapon received a wave of criticism online. do you think people have times question more, what's appears in the media? because obviously this, i suppose that nuclear threats from russia and vice versa has definitely gained a lot of traction. well, i mean people wake up when it impacts them. it's sometimes it might be difficult to, especially in europe to project the reality of ukrainian battlefield. many people still will think in terms of, you know, abstracts doesn't really impact them. but when you speak about putting a nuclear weapon on european soil, it's a wake up call. this is what happened in 1080 s. when germany in the rest of europe woke up to american nuclear doctrine, which would be employing tactical nuclear weapons on german soil, to stop

a soviet advance as to why the german said no, we're doing forward defense because we don't want you nuking german soil. i think right now people are waking up saying, we don't want nukes, used at all in europe. you know, it might be nice to invite some japanese from a russia nagasaki to do a tour of europe right now to inject some reality into this nonsense about somehow russia wanting to use nuclear weapons on the here of all those bombs. there's of a humbling experience, not with the former us marine corps, and so just off as a thanks so much we'll take today on the french channel on those computer graphics was imputed has granted russian citizenship. a former us security contract to edward snowden following his request, us authorities still want the whistleblower to be returned to the country to face a criminal trial on espionage charges. are our position as not changed?

mister snowden should return to the united states, where he should face justice as any other american citizen was just some background. now on snowden story work, and as a private contracts in the national security agency, he revealed secret information gathering programs conducted by the agency in 2013 documents revealed vast domestic and international surveillance operations. they've spent over a month in moscow, airports unemployed for asylum in 20 countries, including russia, where he was granted permanent residency rights. but he met through ts in said that the whistleblower would not be handed over one, but he ended up in transit zone and then no country would take him. so what were we supposed to do? russia is not a country that hands over those. fighting for human rights, a former officer raymond, the governor says that the u. s. media blames that was known for his revelations. while the security services continue to violate human rights,

he put his own conscience above the regulations that violated our constitution. unfortunately are our media, our major media of the established media isn't under the heel of the government. so whatever government guidance comes out tomorrow morning, you could expect all the print and the chronic media to show yes, she violated the law. he let secrets out, those secrets were that the government was violating our essential rights on the 4th amendment of the constitution. he should be applauded for that. he should not be brought to trial. the big thing that seems to me is what mister poaching was. it was to reveal those saying there that nobody else would take him is the quintessential political. as sy lee, we are international lawyers. mr. poaching happens to be a lawyer that guarantee that countries take in political refugees,

and that's for us to decided to do and to the un general assembly in new york. now where the syrian foreign minister expressed support for russia and ukraine, conflicts saying he believes moscow is defending itself. breed religiously affected syria reiterates its position on the russian special military operation in ukraine and the right of russia to defend itself and to secure its national territory. we are convinced that the russian federation is defending, not only itself, but justice and rights for humanity. the rights of every one to reject unipolar had chamonix one it's also important to note that in his remarks, the syrian foreign minister exposed the hip hop, christie of u. s. actions. the usa is currently violating serious territorial integrity with u . s. troops in syria without the permission of the internationally recognized government. here's the syrian foreign minister. then how to bon us with the war against syria was an attempt by the west to maintain control over the world. but

this war, which is aimed at breaking serious will and isolating it from the world, has failed. the illegal military presence on syrian territory violates international law. and the un charter and this presents must cease immediately. we cannot combat terrorism through international illegal coalitions that violate the sovereignty of states that destroy villages and cities that carry out massacres against civilians and the plunder national wealth and support terrorists. the prime minister of molly, who took power amid recent turmoil in the country, spoke before the un general assembly. in his remarks he thunderously came down the country's former colonizer france and expose their role in aggression around the world and escalating global conflicts spreading instability. and he then emphasized that he considered russia to be a country that was friendly to malia country. that molly good cooperate with. now,

western leaders seem committed to resolving the situation in ukraine on the battlefield. they're boring, more weapons into ukraine. they don't seem enthusiastic about negotiations, but when we heard, as the representative of the republic of the congo speak, he not only em size. what many countries in the developing world are emphasizing the need for dialogue and negotiations. he went as far as to address both russia and the key of government. this is how he spoke. he actually spoke in russia, take a listen just near enough us, smoothly, british movie me about and the music movies do you know? is so much given a sally's brody from that's use of voting of thought on the way of, i mean, i still benevolent. i'm glad you're spending glad you did it. but do my tia my la jose vega should do that on a do made yes. to do ship back alanine. pretty slow for him. yeah. but it says,

i mean, this lovely me about all it says i need a diet needle. nestle shows the world wants a peaceful, negotiated resolution to the conflict on like western leaders who are pouring in more weapons. then furthermore, there are many countries around the world that recognize russians, right, to defend itself, and in protect the peoples of the eastern regions of the don boss and support their referendum. so there are many voices around the world who show that though the arrogant language the u. s. uses when it projects, it's opinion as being the pinion the opinion of the entire international community just doesn't match. we're seeing that at the un general assembly. and of course i, u. s. and western media are ignoring the many voices we're hearing from the floor of the un general assembly debate. we're saying the opposite of what they present the world is believing. let's say you're back on the dates with all the latest from

around the world time. peter, scott: somebody back again to the top of the i'll do stay tuned for well, the part coming up next looks on a boy. ah ah ah ah with oh oh oh, a ah

ah with mm. welcome to well the party being a generous friend of the enemy is a maxim advocated by many ethical and religious traditions, which until recently, also had its place in geo politics. the whole corpus of international law was written and upheld on the premise of a minimum of stability that states would show to one another as a safeguard against an all out or possibly bring that spirit back to global affairs .
